Hi everyone, my name is Katyusha and today we are going to be doing top 25 Russian phrases. Let’s start начнем! Здравствуйте. Hello For example,Здравствуйте, не подскажите, как пройти в библиотеку?Hello, could you tell me how to get to the library. We also have another phrase for hello which is informal and sounds like Привет! Привет! Привет! Hello! Доброе утро. Good morning Whenever you wake up, you just go Доброе утро. or Доброе утро. sounds like that, okay. Добрый день. Good afternoon. Добрый means that something is good. So people are wishing you something good in the day when you wake up, when they meet you at school in the day time or like in the evening but usually you say Привет! which is hello. Добрый вечер Good evening. I guess you can switch to Привет! If you talk to your friends but yeah if you talk to strangers, you better say polite way and say Добрый вечер good evening. Добро пожаловать. Welcome. You are welcome to come, right. Same as Russian, it’s good that you came. Добро пожаловать. Добро пожаловать в Россию! Welcome to Russia. Как Вас зовут? What’s your name? So first, when you see a stranger, you have to say Здравствуйте. Как Вас зовут? Меня зовут … my name is… Меня зовут … and your name. My name is ... let’s practice. Здравствуйте. Как Вас зовут? Меня зовут Катя. how was it? Am I talking to myself? Приятно познакомиться. Nice to meet you. Приятно познакомиться. It was nice to meet you. Здравствуйте.Как Вас зовут? Меня зовут Катя. Приятно познакомиться. Got it? Как дела? how are you? When you meet anyone, you know you want to ask what? You want to ask how are you, right. So sometimes instead of hello, you just go how are you Как дела? Привет! Как дела? literally how are your things going? So now you can make a conversation А у тебя? how about yourself Привет! Как дела? Хорошо. А у тебя? and how are you doing? which makes sense. So they care about you. They want to know how you are doing and it’s nice. Спасибо. Thank you. Привет! Как дела? Хорошо. Спасибо. А у тебя? Пожалуйста. Please, you are welcome. The difference in the please and you are welcome is just the way you say it. For example, mom, mom please I don’t want to go to school. Пожалуйста, мама, я не хочу идти в школу! which we can hear every morning or you can say, present an iPad for my friend and he is like Спасибо! and they go like Пожалуйста. like you are welcome Что нового? What’s new? Basically it’s same as Как дела? just you want to know more details of how things are going. So Привет! Как дела? Что нового? Hi how are you? What’s new? До встречи. See you later До встречи. usually we don’t wave hands. See you later, see you soon. It means literally till next time I see you. До свидания. Goodbye or you can say пока пока which means bye bye. Где находится туалет? Where is the bathroom? Где находится туалет? where is the bathroom. You can make a charter because the word находится literally means located or to be. It can be just cut out.

I would like to order. Я бы хотел заказать чашечку кофе. I would like to order a cup of coffee. That would sound much nicer. Счёт, пожалуйста. Check please. О, официант! Счёт, пожалуйста.
